The alliteration...

Classic! Not that they were for sure going to land JT...but only the Leafs organization would pooch it up like this. You hire a hipster kid in the midst of the most important offseason in recent years. Chance to extend 34, 16, 29, and deal with the JVR and Bozak situation (who the heck will take their place?) AND the chance to land real good game changers in - JT, Karlsson, and to some extent Doughty.

Rather than just extend Lou for 1 more year, you cave to a geeky hipster kids tantrums of: hire me as GM or I’m running away mom/dad.

First blunder of the Shanny era.

Hiring Dubas right now was the plan from the beginning. Begone female genitalia.

Lol

Lolz

I truly don't think JT was going to Toronto anyway. I see him heading to Nash, St. Louis, San Jose.

The Leafs were forced to give compensation to both the Devils and Red wings fir signing Lou and Babcock. Both 3rd picks. Despite each being out of contract.

You’d think the Leafs are due compensation if these reports are true.

Nope. That stupid rule no longer exists.

I dont believe he was either.
Toronto needs D

Toronto needs depth at C, too, unless you’re good with Lindholm and Aaltonen as 3 and 4C.

Cool.
Cant afford a 10 million dollar C.
Lots of options for C....not worried about that. Its 3rd line center we need...not hard to find. Any kid from the marlies will at 4th.

Not so much for D, need big upgrade.

I have no problem with Aaltonen being the 4th line centre next season. Just not with Lindholm being the 3rd line centre.

1-0 Washington.

Could see a Carolina deal for Skinner and a defenceman. Skinner can play center, as can Nylander, so interchange who can do it best, but both put on 2C while Kadri drops into the 3C role. Problem solved there.

Honestly if you think Lou going to the Isles suddenly means JT skips free agency and a chance to go to a contending team give your head a shake. More like who there gets pissed and won't shave their facial hair and wants out!! Lou isn't going to back up the truck for JT. He didn't for Parise with NJ.

Hunter I don't want to lose but could see him leave. Francis though coming in might not be too bad at all.

Then again a lot of speculating on who is doing what where etc too. Snow is still GM right now there, Lou is running hockey ops but is he taking the GM spot or firing Snow?? A whole lot will have to happen before worrying on teams trying to poach guys.

Bozak will be the Leafs 3rd line center

Why do you want to drop Kadri to third line center? His line was great all season and he produces. Once he got lined up with Marleau and Marner they were amazing! You can't ask for more out of a 2nd line C unless you have a Crosby/Malkin type of situation going on.
